The Role of Variability in Practice Structure when Learning to Use an Upper-Extremity Prosthesis
|
Douglas L. Weeks, PhD
|
| |
This study contrasts two different practice schedules for learning to use a prosthetic simulator mimicking an upper-extremity prosthesis with a voluntary-close terminal device. The purpose of the study is to determine an efficient practice schedule f...

Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric Analysis of Motion between the Bone and the Socket in a Transtibial Amputation Prosthesis: A Case Study
|
Bengt SÖderberg
|
| |
Roentgen stereophotogrammetry is a high-tech method for studying socket fit in prosthetics for lower limb amputees. This study details how a Roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis facilitates measurement for the first time of vertical axis rotation ...
